Stream Outline
The Aviation major provides the student with a deep understanding of the various technological and human systems that contribute to the safe and efficient operation of aircraft and the aviation environment. A key element in this major is the focus on the role of people as key components in a technologically advanced and complex aviation environment. There is a particular emphasis on the role of human operators (e.g. pilots, air combat officers and air traffic controllers) in aviation in infrastructure and safety management systems.
The Aviation major is designed for potential pilots, air combat officers and air traffic controllers entering the Australian Defence Force.

Stream Structure
A major sequence in Aviation for students entering the BSc comprises a total of 48 UOC, which comprises the following:
Select the following two (12 UOC) level I courses:
Select the following two (12 UOC) level I courses:
- ZPEM1501 Physics 1A (6 UOC)
- ZPEM1502 Physics 1B (6 UOC)
Note: Level I Mathematics (ZPEM1301 and ZPEM1302 or ZPEM1303 and ZPEM1304) is a prerequisite for some level II and III Aviation courses.
For students doing a double major in Physics and Aviation, the two level 1 Mathematics units are to be part of the Aviation major since the level I Physics units are counted towards the Physics major.
Select three courses at level II:
For students doing a double major in Physics and Aviation, the two level 1 Mathematics units are to be part of the Aviation major since the level I Physics units are counted towards the Physics major.
Select three courses at level II:
Note: Students must take at least one of the level II courses ZEIT2502 Fundamentals of Flight or ZPEM2302 Mathematics Tools for Science for their Aviation major.
Select three of the following 4 level III courses:
Students wishing to do ZEIT3804 Behavioural Science Project in their third year must take ZPEM2302 Mathematics Tools for Science in their second year.
Honours
Students must have achieved at least a credit average (65) across the entire undergraduate program including a credit average over the Level III core courses or equivalent courses.
